    Description

    For Them, July Fourth Has More Significance – The Fourth of July has more significance this year for five Fort Worth residents who only last week became citizens of the United States in naturalization ceremonies in U. S. District Court here. They are Mrs. Stella Kelly Vlasis, Miss Ruth Ellen Marcks, Sam Spigel, Erich Rudolph Koch, and Mrs. Leocadia Marie Korolevitch. The unanimous expression of these new citizens is of their happiness – they all beam when they tell you how glad they are to be citizens of the United States. Erich Rudolph Koch, native of Czechoslovakia and former German citizen who owns a grocery store and meat market at 2613 Clinton. Erich is shown standing inside the store, facing front and smiling for the photo. He is wearing an apron. He's going observe Independence Day in typical American fashion by taking his family on a picnic. His home is at 1210 Park. To these new citizens the Stars and Stripes will shine a little more brightly Thursday and they will hold their heads a little higher as they join in Independence Day celebrations now that they “really belong.” Published in The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, July 4, 1946.
